(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

 

Taking the first step to create a Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning program in the District of Columbia, the DC Zoning Commission issued an historic ruling on March 10. "We commend the Zoning Commission for recommending a mandatory policy that will increase the variety and supply of housing at appropriate locations, thereby improving the health of our communities and our housing market," said Stephen Wade of the Campaign for Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning. "However, there are still a few additions we would like the Zoning Commission to make in the final ruling," he added. The Metro Council is a founding member of the Campaign "and we commend our ally Policy Link for steadfast assistance in making this campaign possible, said Council President Jos Williams. "We look forward to continuing to press forward on this campaign together." The Campaign for Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning is asking supporters to submit written comments to the Zoning Commission in response to their ruling. A summary of the ruling, as well as sample written comments, are available at www.dclaborarchives.org
